Steel City Toolworks

05-30-2007, 04:38 PM

Since Ridgid doesn't offer a drum sander I thought it would be okay to ask this question. Does anyone have any experience with the new Steel City Toolworks line. I was looking at their drum sander but I am a little hesitant because of their lack of a track record.

I haven't had any experience with Steelcity yet, but I have been researching their line a bit. Apparently formed by some ex-Delta and WMH (powermatic, jet) guys. Lots of good reviews from users and good reviews in mags. I've been looking at a cabinet saw, mortise machine, surface planer and jointer. Seem to be pretty solid machines. If you learn anything about them, I'd be happy to hear about it. Hope this helped a little.http://steelcitytoolworks.com/

5 year warrantee doesn't hurt.
Don't know what part of Az you're in, but here is a distributer...

Comment

I have a Steel City mortising machine and it works well. There is a distributor about a mile from me and the line looks better in person than in magazines pictures. I have been toying with the idea of selling my Delta chip collector and replacing it with a smaller Steel City collector. The Delta is just too darn big for my small shop.
